Using Blink without using Chromium is nearly impossible. Blink isn't really a "batteries included" web engine like WebKit; it requires a lot of stuff from the Chromium layer to actually function. Not sure it's even possible any more to draw a line around the piece that is Blink.

People outside Google have made a thing called Chromium Embedded Framework that works as an embeddable engine, but as you can tell from the name, it still has a lot of code from the Chromium level. Electron also does something similar.

Ish? WebKit is like a very complete kit-car. Includes > 1/2 of what you need to render a webpage; graphics, networking, & storage are all BYO but easily pluggable. Blink is an engine designed to be run on one chassis (chromium's //content layer); you buy them as a tested package

Alex knows who I am. And I’m pretty sure he’s never written a WebKit app for Mac or iOS. Not sure why he thinks he can explain how WebKit works to me...

Wasn't trying to; the analogy for embedders is...hard to get right
